WALT DISNEY WORLD Vlog 🇺🇸 Day 1 | TRAVEL Day & Checking into ANIMAL KINGDOM Lodge | March 2023

► Welcome to a NEW Florida Travel Day vlog! The first one since 2020!! In this video, I finally make my way back to Orlando for a 2 week stay at Walt Disney World. I travel with Virgin Atlantic's Economy cabin from London Heathrow to MCO Orlando International Airport. I then take the Mears Connect to my resort, Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, and explore some of the hotel, including the Disney merchandise shop, and quick service option, the Mara.
This is Disney World Solo Vlog series 2023.
Disney World Travel Day UK March 2023

Have you ever stayed at or visited Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge? What's your favourite animal? Why does Orlando International Airport look so cute? Is Wagamama's breakfast worth trying? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

OMG this was so good it made me so excited for my turn! Bits that made me laugh…1. The softball team photobombing your Vlog and your awkwardness was so British! 2. The bit in Mara when you said “I didn’t mean to offend the rice”! 😂😂😂 Classic. I love that the resorts all have their own ears now but this shall lead to personal bankruptcy for me as I have an ear headband addiction! Your excitement was tangible and I love how you don’t take anything for granted you appreciate every detail. This series has me totally hooked in already. Xxx

[@seacats3598]

OMGOSH I’m so excited to see a WDW vlog series! I know this is going to be great. I know you had a great time. I just can’t wait to see the rest of this series 🎊 🎉🥳 ~ Inge 😺

[@silked4046]

I love how you walk through the shop and just want to buy everything!! I would never stop you, I’m an enabler 😁

[@FairyGodmother]

Same I would have bought at least 5 of those things out of panic that they sell out before I got back to them! Her self restraint was incredible!

[@AlleKasa]

I’m so happy to hear your mother is doing better now!

[@Sam4G0d]

Thanks Annie :) Yes, I'm sure we will cross paths one day!

[@deborahfair7972]

I enjoy your vlogs of DLP, they helped me get prepared for my visit in Jan. I too found it different that the cutlery over there was wooden… very pleasantly surprised by how much more advanced in Europe they are about the environment. Welcome to my playground WDW and I hope you have /had a wonderful trip and I look forward to your upcoming vlogs!

[@Sam4G0d]

Thanks so much, Deborah :) Glad you enjoyed DLP too! x

@@Sam4G0d yes

[@a.f.393]

Wow

[@PracticallyLaraInEveryWay]

Watching this vlog made me even more excited to finally go back to WDW! I studied in Orlando & graduated during the pandemic & haven't been back since!! Around 2 months till my flight & I can't wait!!! Also, I don't get the zebra dome hype! I tried them & my reaction was like your initial reaction. I mean, they're nice but I've definitely tasted better treats! Looking forward to the rest of your vlogs!

[@Sam4G0d]

Thanks so much! And hope you have an amazing time in 2 months :)

[@justalostgirl]

I saw you walk by in Epcot on Sunday! Was going to say hi but was in the stand-by line for Remi! We waited just over two hours for it! Craziness!

[@Sam4G0d]

Wow 2 hours!! I never got to do Remy in Epcot, the line was too long. Hope you had a lovely time :)

[@mmh290]

I’m so happy for you! Loved it when you were talking about not seeing anything yet: “I definitely SMELL animals…”😂

[@Sam4G0d]

Haha! Thanks :)

[@LauraCunningham626]

great vlog! I'd love to try a solo trip at some point! Im going back to WDW in September with my family and I cannot wait, think I might vlog the travel day this time!

[@Sam4G0d]

Thanks Laura x

[@MrsMusicAddict]

The luxury of sleeping while traveling kjsdhasd I don't sleep before leaving and I still can't sleep on 9 hour bus journeys, haha! Unless I literally pass out xD If we manage to go to Orlando, this will be interesting. We'll most likely have transfer too sooo (also I can't believe we are seriously thinking about Florida (also 14 days! though our budget would only allowed Pop Century (and probably only All Stars but...), you really are living the dream!) and you just happened to be posting vlogs recently!!) OOHH that ceiling in The Mara looks like the ceiling in the Sequoia Lodge Golden Forest lounge! Man I don't do youtube, really, but I just know I'll be binge watching xD

[@angelazuspan6302]

Can't wait to see your whole trip! Hope you had a wonderful time...Second lodge...Grand Floridian??

[@Sam4G0d]

Thanks Angela! :) Good guess on the second one, it's close!

[@subaba4409]

You have an Austrian Passport?! 😄 cool! Hoping to meet you one Day in Disneyland. Greetings from an Austrian Girl (but currently on holiday in Croatia) ❤😉

[@katesommerville7217]

I’ve only travelled to Orlando on my own. I went last April & was soooooo happy to be back there 😊 won’t be back till around September of next year.

[@Sam4G0d]

Woop!

[@montsemercade9074]

Hola sam que disfrutes mucho

[@People_of_the_Mouse]

I took the sunshine flyer in oct. great non disney cartoons. SF doesn’t go to the swan reserve so walked over from the boardwalk. after 1 night there then spent 3 nights at Jambo House in a DVC Value Studio. loooong walk for you. our room was right near the lobby.

[@sicubberley]

The mousse in the Zebra Domes is made with Amarula Cream Liquor. It is a South African liquor that comes from the fruit of the Amarula tree. The liquor is yummie on its own.

[@Sam4G0d]

Makes sense! So good! :)

[@denizalgazi]

Welcome home! Renting DVC points is the best way to save when booking Animal Kingdom Villas! Always try to get an upgrade at check-in discreetly offering a large note!

[@lilmizeezee8350]

Wow they didn’t have that chicken bowl when I went last. But that was back in 2019. Looks great value! Btw we are thinking about getting mears connect to AKL…. How long did it take on the coach? Thanks!!

It took roughly around 40 minutes, if I'm not mistaken x

Can you do a budget vlog. It's always nice to see how vloggers go away so much Not being horrible Just love to save cash where I can xx

[@Sam4G0d]

Hi Mandy, I have a lot of budget vlogs on my channel for Disneyland Paris, as well as showing so many budget-friendly hotels and restaurants. I don't get to go to Disney World often though, and this was a trip I'd saved for since 2020. I saved on flights to have a better hotel experience :)

Hey Sam, as a fellow Austrian citizen, may I ask why do you have an Austrian passport ? I always thought you were British ? Thank you :D

[@FairyGodmother]

I think she is Iranian/British/Austrian all of the above!

[@Sam4G0d]

I explain it a bit in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoPSqGiQd7WNabM but my mum's family moved to Austria before the Iranian revolution :) I've been living in the UK since 2008, but don't have a British passport as Austria doesn't allow dual nationality and I want to stay connected to my mum's side of the family x

Plastic can be recycled, I dont understand all the fuss about it. Just throw it away in the right place just like you do with the wooden cutlery! 😉👍🏼

[@nn6152]

Just to let know and is sadly a fact: more than 85% of the plastic does not get recycled. There is no respect for marine life anymore. Humans are destroying this planet little by little.
